Hey, Hey! It’s Facebook Friday!! It’s also Friday the 13th so don’t go walking under ladders or breaking mirrors or you’ll get 7 years bad luck! I walked under a tow motor though.. hmm does that count??

Facebook Fridays is a weekly segment of RT where I share some fun stuff I observed on Facebook this past week. I share a fun meme or screenshot, a video that resonated in some capacity and a photo of my own.

I shared two memes this week. One on Facebook and one on my personal Twitter (which we can be friends if you want, just let me know). The first meme was from one of those Facebook memories. I posted this 3 years ago this week and I think it still applies:

The other meme I shared on Twitter was originally posted by Goodreads’ Twitter that I retweeted cause this is something that literally always happens to me:

Now for the video. I shared two videos. One on my page and one in a private message. A friend and I were discussing acapella music or music that makes your brain freeze up because it’s so amazing and I shared to her one Pentatonix song that makes my head explode. It’s called “Run To You” and its a pretty slow song but there’s one part that won’t ever allow me to skip this song if it appears on any playlist:

My favorite lyrics of this song are:

I will break down the gates of heaven; A thousand angels stand waiting for me.

I can barely write this post without listening to this song again! I mean those lyrics combined with their harmonics literally breaks me for about 30 seconds.

Lastly, I didn’t share a picture this week. I did take a cool book quiz though. It’s called “Which book genre are you?” If you would like to take the quiz, click here. My result was Science Fiction (spot on!) and this is the description:

That’s it from social media this week! Did you see anything interesting in your social circles? Do you like acapella music? Did you take the book genre quiz and if so, which book genre are you? Let me know in the comments below! Have a great weekend everyone 🙂

Going through my feed this week, I did not share a meme, however, my coworker tagged me in one with the comment: “Thank goodness for Chanel. She alone is changing those stats.”

Now to give you a bit of back story.. Last Friday I went to a book sale with one of my closest friends because she knows how much I love book sales (apparently she’s learning a lot from my bookish habits). This sale happened to be a library sale and it happened to be bag day. Bag day at a library sale is exactly what it sounds like. You pay a flat price for a bag, usually between $1-$5 and you fill the bag with however many books you can fit in it. It’s super awesome. Anyway, I go to quite a few throughout the year and one bag sale I went to I told John, my favorite old man in the plant, that I’d get him a book. At first he was adamant that I not do so and he wouldn’t say why. I just kept saying, it’s fine. I’ll grab you a fun one.

He finally confessed to me that he can’t read well. He’s 60 years old and he seemed to have felt a little self conscious about that. But I didn’t bat an eyelash, and told him that it was okay and that I would just get him a picture book. Well, he still told me no. I went to the sale and got a ton of books for myself and my coworker but didn’t get a book for him. I go to work the next day and he asks me if I got him a book and I told him that I didn’t because he was so adamant against it. He told me he thought I would surprise him and do it anyway so I told him next time, it was a done deal. The sale I went to last Friday, I got him a really cool picture book that talked about the Earth and it’s animals and it even had a cat in it, which is is favorite! Long story, I know. But this, I believe, is what spurred my coworker to tag me in this meme.

Next, I shared 3 videos on Facebook this week. I think I’m going to share two of them since I did not share a picture of my own and they are both pretty fun in my opinion.

The first video made me smile huge because this woman is just fantastic in her interaction with this hot cop:

The second video I shared as well because I have a weakness for watching men dance and when you put a bunch of them together doing a line dance I’ve never seen before, creating their own variations in between, and come from a bunch of different backgrounds, I just become a super fan! Plus who doesn’t love to dance and smile at the same time?!

That’s it for Facebook Friday! I hope I’ve brought a smile to all your beautiful faces today. Did you see anything interesting in your social media this week? Let me know in the comments below and have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning my lovelies! Or evening depending on where you are in the world. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northeast Ohio. Our 90° did a 360 and now it’s a freezing 60°! Well not freezing but when you go from hot to cool really fast, it’s a bit of a shock.

Anyway, on to the social bits! This meme actually comes from the Twitter world. I did share a Facebook meme but it may or may not offend so I think this meme is more appropriate for the blog. This applies to us all! Especially all of you who are MUCH more creative in your writing skills than I am:

Next, I found a video that I found really quite unique and amazing. If you’ve ever seen Phantom of the Opera, you’ll definitely recognize the modern twist on this song. Plus, can we just admire how talented these two are???

Modern movie reboot anyone?

I also shared the video tribute/salute to the TV show Scandal because it showed just how much it impacted their audience in 6th seasons and it’s so sad that this is the final one!! I teared up a little, I can’t deny. (I’m such an emotional sucker 😉)

Lastly, I shared my own photo that I took from my sunroof yesterday morning while driving to work. I just happened to look up while sitting at a red light and quickly snapped a picture:

(P.S. As much as I like the theme that I have, I’m changing it over the course of the weekend. It will look similar but the biggest difference is the typography will be a lot more readable. If you experience issues accessing my site or with commenting, just shoot me a message via the contact form or through social media if you’re friends with me there. Thanks!)

Guess what?! It’s the first day of Autumn in the northern hemisphere today! Goodbye Summer (though you wouldn’t be able to tell currently with our 90 degrees (F) days we’ve been having this week). The leaves are starting to change colors though and that’s the main sign that matters!

This week on Facebook I didn’t share any memes personally but my mom shared one to me that was pretty nice in that it had my name on it:

Next up, I shared a video but it’s political in nature so I’m not opening that can of worms here. However! To follow yesterday’s sloth post, I must share this video clip because I can ASSURE you, you will not only smile but probably laugh out loud. The video features Kristen Bell and her appearance on the Ellen show recounting her encounter with a sloth. PLEASE watch it. I promise it’ll be one of the best things you’ve seen all week. I’m laughing just thinking about it!

Lastly, I shared an up close picture of my boss’s dog yesterday. His name is Apollo. He’s a 2 year old Leonberger that she brought to visit yesterday. A Leonberger is about the size of a Great Dane (or mini horse) with TONS of fur. He’s a very sweet boy and I just love when she brings him in to work with us for the day:

This week on Facebook there wasn’t too much shared because we had a lot of hurricanes going on in the States but I still managed to find some enjoyment out of some memes and I even shared a mini album.

Starting with the meme. Everyone who knows me, knows that I’m a freeze baby. In my office, I’m literally an ice cube even though it’s the middle of summer because the air conditioning unit is above my head and blows right on top of me. I keep a mini heater under my desk to blow on my feet because those stay cold no matter the weather. My coworker found this meme on Facebook and shared it to me stating that she’d buy me the purple one:

I think I can rock this look, especially in purple! What do you think?

The following video and pictures were shared personally by me. Last Saturday I got to see Ed Sheeran for the first time live in concert and it was, hands down, one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to and that’s saying something because I’ve seen Beyonce in concert and she’s pretty wowza. The energy of all the fans and Ed Sheeran himself made it all worth every penny and I would DEFINITELY go see him again and again and again!

The video is sharing one of the moments of the concert where he had everyone turn on their cellphone lights and sing with him. There were MANY of these moments where he would stop singing and the crowd would just continue singing along with him. He was so humble about it too. He said even if you don’t know the words to the song or don’t think you can sing even if it’s not on tune, sing anyway; make up words, and dance your heart out.

And then here are the photos:

Hey, hey! It’s Facebook Friday! It’s also the first day of September and if the weather today is any indication (50 degrees F), Autumn is right around the corner!

🎼🎶”Do you remember the tiiiiime; when we fell in looooove…”🎶🎵

My memeish picture is Michael Jackson meets Disney! It’s also a real T-shirt. I mean come on, who wouldn’t love to see a suave Mickey Jackson performing?? If you like this, just click the picture and it will take you to the link to order this shirt and other merchandise like it including color options!

Next up is my video. I didn’t actually share this on my Facebook page but I thought it was pretty neat and talented. Most people can’t claim to be ambidextrous but this lady took it to a whole new level! See if you can recognize some of the people she’s drawing!

Lastly, I shared a photo of my dried out lavender bunch! If you recall in a previous Facebook Friday post, I shared pictures from a lavender festival I went to. Well one of the cool takeaways was being able to pick my own bundle and take it home. I like to preserve flowers, leaves and other plants that I really like, usually by pressing them. I pressed a couple of springs of lavender but I wanted to preserve the whole bunch. After investigating the Google, I found a method. So that day, I bundled my lavender bunch with a rubber band and then took it into the basement and hung it upside down from the ceiling and let it sit in darkness for weeks. I actually forgot about it until the day before yesterday. I went to get it and it still smells amazing and it preserved its color! This is the picture I shared:

That’s it for this week! In America, we get an extended weekend this week because Monday is the holiday Labor Day. Me and the husband are headed to PA to visit my very pregnant friend for the weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful, safe weekend!

Were you able to identify some of the people the woman in the video was drawing? Did you see anything interesting or fun in your social media this week? Let me know in the comments below!

So I did not see a fun meme on Facebook this week or if I did it was NSFW (ha). For the screenshot portion of this post, I’m going to share my blog stats because I happened to log in on a cool comments number:

I’m feeling very 3’s? How about you? 😉

Their were two videos I shared that resonated with me. One was another Lion King video but the second one was super cool. Have you ever realized you didn’t know you wanted to know something until you knew it? Well, that was me. I didn’t realize I wanted to know how people wash their hair in space until I saw the video and now I wonder how other every day things happen in space. I remember back in elementary school when we got to try space ice cream but now I wonder what a regular entree tastes like. Anyway, here’s the video:

Lastly, I shared photos of the eclipse but I also shared photos of this soup I made that I was very proud of. I’ve never made soup from scratch before. I’m an open the can and heat it up kind of girl. Earlier in the week we bought a rotisserie chicken and I really did not want it to go to waste so I googled how to make chicken stock out of it which led to a giant pot of chicken vegetable soup.

I also had left over buttermilk from making buttermilk chicken Monday night. The thing about buttermilk is not only can’t you buy it in smaller than a half gallon, it only has a two week shelf life! So I started googling easy buttermilk recipes so that wouldn’t go to waste as well. I ended up making biscuits for the first time ever as well as pancake muffins and I STILL have like a cup and a half of buttermilk left! (They really need smaller sizes).

There was a lot of anger and sadness surrounding social media this week. I made it a point to share things guaranteed to bring a smile to my friends faces in the hopes that they would take a few moments and not dwell on the hatred that’s occurring in the world. Two of the memes I shared were bookish themed this week. One is my dream job and the other, I’d just like to blow it up poster size on my wall or turn it into a giant blanket so I can point to the number when it applies to the situation:

I absolutely ADORE all things turtle related. When I saw this video, I literally felt my heart soar because it’s so beautiful! I had the opportunity to see sea turtles when I interned on the island of Maui for 7 months. I witnessed a sea turtle the size of a coffee table but the sea turtle in this video completely blows the one I saw away! It just goes to show you that the creatures of our oceans are so amazing:

Lastly, I shared a picture that’s not exactly mine, because I didn’t take the picture, but it features my kitty. A friend of mine recently opened her own grooming salon. I used to work with her years ago, back in my PetSmart days and we always got along really well and kept in touch. The salon is about 5 minutes away and I’m all about supporting local businesses especially when a friend runs them. I took both my cats to get the full spa treatment and they were perfect angels! I’m also convinced that if Isabel were to audition to be a kitty model, she’d make a great one!

This week I shared a cool bookcase quilt picture I saw on someone else’s page with the status asking if anyone was good at quilting because I need this. I’ve also been part of this Facebook event since Monday. It’s for an anthology that was just released on the 8th called Dominion Rising featuring 23 sci-fi/fantasy novels by 23 authors for $0.99. To celebrate, the authors have been doing giveaways on Facebook and getting the audience participating by having us posts GIFs to their questions. The one I responded to yesterday got a lot of likes so I decided to share it with you all. The question was to post your favorite geeky/nerdy sci-fi/fantasy meme. I’m a HUGE Firefly fan so my meme was related to that. If you’ve never seen Firefly, you should check it out. It only had one season of 19 amazing episodes with quite an awesome, adventurous space crew.

Next, I shared, what I think is a super awesome video! The Lion King is one of my favorite Disney Classics and the Disney Facebook page released this video snippet of the voices behind the characters acting; specifically Scar singing. It filled me with all kinds of fuzzy feelings!

And then last, but not least, I shared my own photos featuring my coworkers windshield repair! Have you ever seen a car’s windshield get repaired? It’s the coolest thing! There are a lot of suction cups involved but the man was very meticulous and was so nice to me asking him a million questions about what he was doing.

That’s it! Did you see anything cool on your social medias this week? Let me know in the comments below!

For once, I don’t have a bookish meme to share but I thought this was still quite hilarious. If you don’t get it right away, that’s okay, we can laugh about it later while I explain it:

Next we have the video. You all should know by now how much I have this obsession/fantasy love affair with Idris Elba in my mind. Today, his movie The Dark Tower came out today. I must confess that I’ve never read this book before and honestly, if Idris Elba wasn’t in it, I may or may not have contemplated seeing it. Anyway, I shared this video to my page of Idris Elba on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It’s pretty funny! They play this game where they send an English song through Google Translate and then translate it back to English and sing those lyrics. Check it out (plus bask in Elba’s voice..):

Last but not least, I shared two photos on Facebook this week. The first one was my book sale haul. On Wednesday, I dragged my friend to this library sale because we went last year and it was spectacular! We were in for such a surprise. Turns out it was bag day! Bag day means you buy a bag and fill it with as many books as possible and pay a flat fee. At this sale, the bags were $1! I was in heaven, truly. Then the lady blew my mind when she told me it was buy one bag get one free. I walked into this sale with $30 and walked out with 2 bags of books and $29:

The second picture I shared was an old one. For those that don’t have Facebook, it has this application called Facebook Memories that shares photos with you that you took years ago and allows you to share them with your friends again if you’d like. My Facebook memory was a big sunflower picture that I took 7 years ago. I shared it with my friends and family because 7 years ago I was in college and the picture was taken with my cellphone. I was at one of my work study jobs at my college’s Field Station. A group of us planted these sunflowers and a vegetable garden and I remember being so excited watching them grow. This sunflower was taller than me and i’m 5’7″! Back then I had a small, 4 inch LG phone that had a sliding qwerty keyboard. I remember fighting the smartphone wave for so long! I thought smartphones were dumb and too expensive. I thought my phone was the best phone with my free calls on nights and weekends after 9 pm. Man have the times change.
